The Ben Franklin approach to weight loss

Early to bed, early to riseYour scale will show a pleasant surprise- Ben Franklin (attributed)*

Late to bed, early to riseWon't shed the fat off of these thighs.- Merry

I know better, I do. I realize short-changing myself on sleep for this long is counterproductive as far as weight loss is concerned. Maybe I'll get laid off, or the company will fold, or the workload will lighten up and I can get some sleep.

I left work early today so I could go home and take a nap. Okay, it was only 30 minutes. Still, it was early. Because I am sick. And I need rest. But did I sleep? No. I did not. And then one of my sisters called tonight and I talked too much. And now I sound like Marlo Thomas with a 3-pack-a-day habit. [cough, cough] Hear that? I'm sure talking to you now is only making it worse. [cough] I hope you appreciate my efforts to commiserate with you about your lack of rest.

About Me

I'm a vertically challenged and horizontally enhanced woman, living in the Pacific Northwest and devoting my considerable stubbornness toward becoming fit. I created this blog to help me get exercise. I find being publicly accountable really helps. And guilt works too.

My plan

Exercise, try, or post the reason why.

Each week, I set up my exercise schedule.Each day, I aim to complete the exercise posted for that day.If I'm good, I get a gold star next to the exercise. Yes, I work out for bright sparkly virtual objects :)
